| A common site in Senegal - People have to be creative about how they get their rams home for Tabaski. :) |
Day 7 - Today, I'm thankful that Jesus was sacrificed for me once and for all, because it is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins. (Heb. 10.4)
Today is Tabaski (...known as Eid in other countries). This is one of the most important holidays to Muslims, where they celebrate the willingness of Abraham to sacrifice his son, Ishmael, who God replaced with a ram, thus sparing his life. Muslims will celebrate by sacrificing a ram to symbolize their obedience to Allah and then will distribute the meat to family, neighbors, and the poor, and will then have a large celebratory feast with their families.
Please join me in praying for Muslims around the world. Pray that God will reveal the truth to them. Pray that their hearts, minds, and ears will be open to Christianity, the love of the one true God, and the true path to salvation (...not good works, but rather the blood of Jesus Christ.)
